The sizes of the video memory of the upcoming Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 and Geforce RTX 4060 have not been a big secret for a long time, but have now been officially confirmed by a board partner for the first time. Gigabyte has stored the complete identifiers of its custom designs in the “Gigabyte Control Center” system suite and thus revealed the memory expansion of the two graphics cards.

GeForce RTX 4070 and 4060 with 12 and 8 GiByte GDDR6(X)
The rumors have been confirmed, the Geforce RTX 4070, which is based on the AD104-250 with 5,888 CUDA cores, will be equipped with 12 GiByte fast GDDR6X, while the Geforce RTX 4060, which uses the smaller AD107-400 with 3,072 shaders , supported by 8 GiByte GDDR6. The Videocardz website first noticed corresponding entries in the Gigabyte Control Center.
As usual, the two models in the Aero OC and Gaming OC series list the corresponding memory expansion directly in the product code.

The Geforce RTX 4060 (Ti) gets slower memory
It had already leaked out that the Geforce RTX 4070 would be based on the Geforce RTX 4070 Ti and rely on 12 GiByte GDDR6X, while for the time being the smallest graphics card of the Ada Lovelace generation, the Geforce RTX 4060, has to make do with 8 GiByte slower GDDR6.

AD107 with 3,072 shader units and 115 watts
While the larger of the two entry-level graphics cards in the Geforce RTX 4000 series, the Geforce RTX 4060 Ti, is said to have an AD106 graphics processor with 4,352 shader units and a TDP of 160 watts, the Geforce RTX 4060 is said to be on the smallest GPU to date, the AD107 3,072 ALUs are based. The power loss should only be 115 watts, while the GPUs communicate via PCIe 4.0 x8.

Your opinion is asked!
What do you think of the upcoming Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 and RTX 4060? Are we possibly seeing a successful entry into the Ada Lovelace generation, or are the small GA107 and GA106 and the trimmed interface with PCIe 4.0 x8 too much of a good thing?
